We all face new beginnings at many times in our lives. Be it a changing career, entering or leaving a relationship, emigrating to a new country, retiring, reevaluating life after a brush with death, or rebuilding life after losing everything. So often what some see as a wondrous opportunity can appear to us-in the centre of it all-as nothing but hardship, obstacles and chaos. Yet it is these very situations which offer us wondrous opportunities to create an even more enjoyable, rich, and rewarding life for ourselves, if only we could pick our way through. This is why Keith Blakemore-Noble has brought together sixteen international experts from a wide range of fields to share their experiences, knowledge, and tips for making the best of your own new beginnings, learning from everything they went through with theirs.
